Water storage and filtering

Wellington’s water supply network is vulnerable. After a significant earthquake many parts of our region may be without water for more than 100 days.

We're working with local councils and government to help make sure Wellington's communities are prepared, and ready to recover from a significant earthquake. Everyone has a role to play in being prepared.

Emergency walk home bag

Notes:

This is designed to be a compact lightweight bag for rapid evacuation (running) from Tsunami Zones accordingly it does not include much water, but including the water filter allows safe water to be obtained from other sources.

I have extensively tested these items in all weather conditions including heavy rain and gales.
